That must be a lot of work!

It might be worth using a CMS if you update it all that often... ever considered it?

nope, not so much - not for my portfolio, i just update it because im forever unsatisfied in presenting myself to the WWW...

i do have CMS implemented in many of my client's sites though.

Yeah that's fair enough. I'm torn on whether I should use one for my portfolio or to go with flash... some of the site would work better in flash but it'd be an absolute pain to update...

CMS is unnecessary on personal sites in my opinion. especially if you're a web developer.

i say - CMS is primarily for those with multiple editors and those who are not proficient in developing websites (or at least experienced in DW).

That's one of the reasons I'm not going for the CMS route, I just wish there was an easier way to update a flash site... I don't know too much about flash yet either
